Hajime Yagyu arrived at Tokyo Airport early today. While in the car, he kept looking at his watch. After arriving at the airport, he looked at the flight time and saw that there was still an hour left. He sat in the car and waited.
The driver was curious, who was President Yagyu coming to pick up? And judging from Chairman Yagyu's attitude, it seems that the person he wants to take over has a very high status.
But President Yagyu was looking at flights from China. Could it be that he was welcoming Chinese people
The driver suddenly remembered that the person who could make the president come to greet him so solemnly must be the mysterious major shareholder of Huaxia. It is no secret that AIWA company is controlled by Huaxia people.
The driver also tidied his hair and straightened his clothes in the rearview mirror. He must leave a good impression on the big boss!
As soon as Feng Yu got off the plane, he saw Yagyu Hao walking over quickly: "Mr. Feng, please get in the car. Someone will take your luggage to the hotel in a moment."
After getting on the bus, Hajime Yagyu reported anxiously: "Mr. Feng, your idea is really amazing. I never thought that these things could be combined to create such an epoch-making product!"
Feng Yu said with a smile: "After the emergence of this product, the market for walkman and CD will shrink further, and the record market will be severely impacted."
Yagyu Haojiao smiled and said: "Wouldn't that be better? We don't have a record company anyway, and Sony will suffer huge losses. The MD player they promote will also be replaced by our product!"
I don’t know since when, seeing Sony’s misfortune, Yagyu Hajime felt very happy. This kind of feeling was even more satisfying than going to a custom shop to look cool!
Maybe it's because he was full of resentment towards Sony for abandoning AIWA and full of hatred for Norio Ohga. Nowadays, AIWA has re-emerged, surpassing Sony in the Walkman and CD player business. Every time Hajime Yagyu thinks about this, he wakes up laughing in his dreams!
But this time, after AIWA successfully developed this epoch-making product, Sony's record business will inevitably be severely hit again. In the future, fewer and fewer people will buy tapes and CDs!
"Have you finished the website I asked you to build?" Feng Yu asked.
"It's done and we're purchasing the copyright. But Mr. Feng, it doesn't seem feasible to pay for downloading. Think about it, those people who downloaded it once can copy each other through the computer later, and we will probably lose money. ." Liu Shenghao had a sad look on his face.
Feng Yu patted Yagyu Hajime on the shoulder: "The cost of downloading can be lower, or it can be bundled and packaged. For example, the price of downloading a specific twelve songs is equivalent to the price of downloading eight songs separately. Or it can be paid on a monthly basis, in one month Within the time, there are unlimited downloads. The circle of users communicating with each other will not be too large, at least in the short term, they will not communicate very well. Besides, what if this website loses money? How much can it lose? Our product If you sell it, how much profit will you make?”
What we really need to worry about is that those who have downloaded it will re-post it to online forums and other places, and then let others download it for free.
"I have already applied for a patent. Once the patent is approved, we will launch it on the market. The price of this epoch-making product must be higher. The profit of our product can exceed 100%, which is an absolute huge profit!" Hajime Yagyu! A flush appeared on his face with excitement.
Feng Yu was really worried that at Yagyu Shenghao's age, if he accidentally suffered from high blood pressure or heart disease, he would be taken directly. For the time being, AIWA cannot do without Hajime Yagyu. In other words, Feng Yu is very satisfied with Hajime Yagyu’s management and he does not want to replace him.
Of course, Feng Yu is also inspecting other senior executives. When Yagyu Hao retires or makes any major mistakes, Feng Yu will be able to recommend someone to support him so that AIWA's operations will not suffer major problems.
"Okay, don't get too excited. Didn't I tell you a long time ago? To promote this product, you must have a lot of audio files. When you were going to enter the computer market, who in the computer industry could have the high profits of this product? AIWA It is enough for the company to specialize in one field. Music is indispensable in people's lives. A single product like headphones can at least bring high profits to AIWA for decades."
Feng Yu's development path for AIWA is to specialize in music peripheral products, from Walkmans to CD players, then to VCD karaoke technology, and now to this product - MP3!
This path has been verified by previous developments. In at least five years, MP3 will bring considerable profits to AIWA. Five years later, if you upgrade to MP4, you can make a lot of money for another five years.
Then, we will focus on headphones, and then specialize in the sound quality of players, which can be applied to speakers, mobile phones, computers, etc., and the profits will definitely not be low.
MP3 was originally an audio file format that was stored and played on computers.
Feng Yu told Yagyu Hajime that the company should find a way to develop a product that can play MP3 audio files in a computer with an independent player, that is, a new type of Walkman.
With the popularity of computers, this kind of Walkman will surely replace the traditional Walkman and CD player, as well as Sony's MD player.
MD players are equivalent to a combination of tapes and CDs. They have the appearance and sound quality of CDs, but also have the rewritable function of tapes, allowing users to record their own music.
If Sony hadn't had this product to support it, Sony's brand value would have definitely dropped a lot in the portable player market.
Of course AIWA also has this MD product, but after Fengyu Electronics authorized VCD, this was selectively abandoned by Hajime Yagyu. Of course, at that time, it was because AIWA’s funds and factory scale were not enough to take care of so many things at the same time. product.
Later, after AIWA got a loan from the bank and expanded its factory again, it began to catch up with Sony in MD players. At this time, Feng Yu told Yagyu Hajime that you were going in the wrong direction.
MD players are good, but all the functions of MD players can be realized by MP3. And it is foreseeable that MP3 will be smaller and more popular.
Just like the transition from ordinary Walkman to ultra-thin Walkman, since you can carry it with you, who doesn't want something smaller and lighter? It feels best to put it in your pocket without falling down.
According to Feng Yu's idea, AIWA used expensive flash memory and LCD screens, with a storage capacity of 128M, which can store about twenty songs in MP3 format. Of course, the cost is as high as hundreds of dollars.
However, Yagyu Hajime believes that the price of this product can definitely exceed two hundred US dollars, and the consumer group he targets is the rich.
This is an epoch-making product, and it is also the product used by AIWA to defeat Sony's last portable player territory. AIWA will mainly promote this product in the future, and will definitely make this product replace other portable players and become everyone's Buy licensed products for portable players!
Arriving at AIWA's headquarters, Feng Yu entered the office. Yagyu Hao solemnly placed an MP3 player that he thought was perfect in front of Feng Yu.
But in Feng Yu's mind, there were 10,000 grass and mud horses whizzing by, and the line in his heart was: What the hell is this? You call this thing MP3? Is this the MP3 that you told me was successfully developed
